Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan says America wrong to bomb Taliban

Radio | October 17, 2001 | Lazamataz

[Lazamataz]

The Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan blasted the current administration for bombing the Taliban government last night. "One one hand, we send them bombs, on the other hand, a few loaves of bread, and we want praise for the bread...... Well, who's sending the bombs in the first place?"

This quote was the best recollection I have of what he said. The radio report I heard said that he was quite critical of the administration for bombing the Taliban.

If so, then he is a domestic enemy. He should be shunned at the very least, and deported at the worst. The Taliban is an outlaw, terrorist government, and he is lending aid and comfort to our declared enemy.

This is the single most influential leader of Islam in America, and he is cozying up to the Taliban. Anyone want to tell me how Islam is such a peaceful religion any more???

We should send a team in to get Farakhan. Me-first!

[Joe Boucher]

hard to believe that anyone with even half a brain would care what Farrakan says about anything. Ok so maybe a lot of publicly educated blacks from poorly run city schools.

[Yougottabekidding]

Various leftists and Muslims already have. It's time to clean house - eliminate all enemies, foreign or domestic.

Amen!

I'm seeing the signs of the shift in thinking already. When it finally culminates in the inevitable conclusion, I'll be happy to lock you in your padded cell.

WHHHHHHHOOOOOOAAAAAAAA!! Not fair. You didn't tell me you were seeing signs. Let me see. Er are they octagon in shape, square, circle or triangular? Are these signs a particular color? Do you see these signs when your laying down, standing up, at home, watching TV or when your driving?

One more thing Laz, in order to lock me in a padded cell you have to stay out of one until January 1, 2002. Good luck.

At some point we have got to stop denying that the enemy is the enemy. Deport every non-citizen Islamic today!

I've been thinking about the Iran hostage crisis. I was just a little kid then, but I vividly remember the days when there were buttons and t-shirts with mickey mouse giving the finger and slogans, "F*** the Ayatollah" There was rage, absolute fury in the air. I don't remember an ounce of sentimentality towards the Iranians. It was all "free our hostages - get out of our embassy, you bastards!" Yellow ribbons everywhere. The gas crisis. Violence at the pumps. Fury at the foreigners. Today it's all this "peaceful Islam" propaganda, Oprah's embrace of the rich Muslim culture, Bush going barefoot in the mosques. What the hell is wrong with the American people today? They slaughter 6,000 people but the average citizen is so worried about the PC police. I want all Muslims in the USA to fear US, because the current state of them telling journalists about their lack of allegiance, with no fear whatsoever is ludicrous. This country may need some psychotherapy cuz we are wacked out. Cars and houses everywhere are filled with flags and such, but I need to see the outrage, posters of "OBL wanted" everywhere, and some edgier messages too. I refuse to watch my country be destroyed from the inside out. F*** you Osama! America Uber Alles!

Surprise? Shock? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Before this year is out, American Islamics and the American left will come out strongly in favor of the September 11 World Trade Center bombing.

If American Muslims only knew what the Taliban and bin Laden thought of them, they'd be shaking in their sandals. ("Traitors!" They too are considered the enemy because they're not openly supporting Osama bin Rodham's brand of Islam. "Death to the infidels, moderate Muslims included!")

As for the left, now that their own are in the crosshairs, even Clueless Joe is demanding more bombs. But the "give peace a chance" crowd will always be with us, I'm afraid.

I knew his initial statement expressing sorrow for the 9/11 attacks was just a bunch of PR crap. His latest rant now proves it.

When you look at the Bush approval ratings, ranging from a low of 88% to a high of 92% on all major polls (posted on FR yesterday). it is clear what has happened. Most of every known group in the country, including both blacks and Muslims, are supporting Bush and the War on Terrorism. When even Jackson and Sharpton, rabid Bush-haters, are laying low, you know a sea change has occurred.

Farrakhan has just isolated himself by becoming part of the 5% opposed. It is hard for anyone to be loopier than Jackson and Sharpton. But evidently, it IS possible.

This man is now just as irrelevant, and about as annoying, as Ramsey Clark (leader of the recent, cobbled-together, anti-war demonstration that was poorly attended).

For a clear discussion of the difference between what the US can constitutionally do in wartime with aliens (but NOT with US citizens of foreign extraction), see my book, Manzanar, published in 1988.

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well." --Booker T. Washington, 1911

These, italicized above, are the dribblings of the seriously mentally ill.

I said before that a thief views the world in terms of locks and larceny. You seem to view the world in terms of padded cells and rantings.

The conclusion is not a terribly big jump.

Stay on topic. The signs Laz. What about the signs? I really want to hear about the signs.

AAAAAAAAUUUUUURRRRRGHHHHHLLLRRR!!!

I should've known it was just a matter of time before this piece of trash oozed out of the woodwork to try to rally the black man and sh!t...

Get back in your penthouse, scum; it ain't safe yet. We're doing the anthrax scare thing here. And as long as we're pointing fingers and getting all paranoid here, may as well check out what ol' Louis has been doing with himself for the past couple weeks...

Did he really say that? DAMN. People don't get to be great Americans for nothing. You don't read THAT statement in the history books.

[homeschool mama]

*** You don't read THAT statement in the history books.***

Which is why we homeschool...to learn the truth.
